Application: Why do we have to pay for what Adam and Eve did in the garden? Have you ever thought about that? Well, what is fair about Jesus having to pay for what Adam did? In Adam we all sin but we didn't have to pay because Christ paid for all our sin. This is grace.

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—
13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Gen 3:
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Thank God for second chances
15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
Gen

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Psalms 139:
thats tough to swallow isn't it?
Romans: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary Death Entered the World Through Sin
A person does not become a sinner by committing sins but rather commits sins because he is by nature a sinner. A person does not become a liar when he tells a lie; he tells a lie because his heart is already deceitful. A person does not become a murderer when he kills someone; he kills because his heart is already murderous.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

Rom
by our nature we are corrupt physically, psychologically, and spiritually
Story of valve messed up, cough, blood pressure
Story of talking to myself
Story of being lost
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
It’s Not Fair
Adam sinned all has a sin nature, Jesus died, thus all have the opportunity to be saved doing nothing..
It took one sin for God to condemn the world, thats how much he hates sin...
Romans: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary The Contrast in Extent
Greater even than God’s hatred of sin is His love for the sinner.
10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom
4. He reversed death and brought restoration.

16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
Rom 5:
Romans: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary The Contrast In Effectiveness
Jesus Christ not only reversed the curse of death by forgiving and cleansing from sin but provided the way for redeemed men to share in the full righteousness and glory of God
God’s grace is greater than mans sin. It is the story we can tell. Better yet, it is the story we want to to tell. Death comes because of sin, but life happens because of Jesus. Think about it, death brings us pain and hurt, we pray for healing and to keep people with us because it hurts to suffer lose, but God suffered the greatest lose to give life to us. We get life that can only abound.
5. The final result is eternal life.
17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
